Covering the sky: Starting from the Golden Crow of the Holy Cliff

Chapter 167 The Pinnacle of the Saint King, the Transformation of the Divine Silkworm Princess

Solar System (or perhaps Solar Star Region) · Mars · Yin-Yang Prison of the Demon Sealing Realm · Fourth Yin Cave.

On a bloodstone, a man sat cross-legged with his upper body naked and surrounded by flames, his eyes closed, contemplating his own path.

His black hair fell to his waist. Although he looked young, he also had a kind of indifference that came with the passage of time, as if he had experienced many things in the world and seen the changes of the world.

Suddenly, he opened his eyes, shooting out two deep beams of light. At this moment, his pupils were filled with astonishing divine radiance. Deep within his pupils, the sun, moon, and stars appeared, and one star after another vanished, creating a breathtaking scene.

"boom!"

At the boundary between reality and illusion, a black and gold eagle appears, its feathers gleaming. The moment its beak opens, the sound of flowing water can be heard. An illusory river of time flies out from the dusty ancient history and reigns supreme over the nine heavens and ten earths!
"Finally we've reached this point."

The shirtless man stood up, and the five elements of divine light flashed within the Dao Palace. Green wood, red fire, black gold, black water, and yellow earth rotated continuously, and thousands of symbols flashed and disappeared wherever they passed. Primordial divine patterns intertwined, causing the heavens to roar and shaking the starry sky.

The woman in white standing nearby was stunned and deeply moved. She couldn't help but want to prostrate herself in worship. This was no ordinary Great Sage.

The five elements converged, and the emperor's image manifested, truly like the ancestral crow descending upon the mortal realm, creating a terrifying sense of oppression!
This is Yan Ming, who has been cultivating diligently here since leaving the Immortal Ruins, killing great demons and tempering his bloodline fire. He has already unlocked the fourth level of the demons left behind by Shakyamuni two thousand years ago.

Eight-layered Yin-Yang Prison:

The first layer consists of stars, with the Great Xia Dragon Sparrow on the sunny side and the Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox on the shady side.

The second layer consists of mountains and rivers, with a golden-striped silver snake on the south side and a centipede on the north side!

The third layer consists of rivers, with the Dark King Tiger residing in Heyang and the Sea-Suppressing Black Whale in Heyin!

The fourth layer consists of dead wood, with the yang vein featuring a nine-headed golden eagle and the yin vein featuring a black-striped white crane.

These eight are all beings from the Nine Heavens of the Great Sage.

Except for the Heavenly Fox, who survived by chance due to the inheritance of Nuwa, all the other seven demon realms were killed by Yan Ming after he unsealed them.

Several of them were extremely powerful, even Yan Ming took them seriously, but in the end they were no match for the Heaven-Piercing Immortal-Burning Technique, and were all reduced to ashes of true fire.

After killing the seven demons and absorbing their blood essence, Yan Ming directly rushed into the ninth level of the Saint King realm!

Breaking through three realms in three years is simply divine speed, unimaginable to ordinary people.

The only witness, the nine-tailed fox, has been petrified. Having witnessed the horrific deaths of seven other great demons who suffered the same fate, she has been walking on thin ice and filled with fear for the past two years.

She survived entirely because of the karma of the ancient emperor.

Her opponent showed no mercy in their first attack, clearly targeting her bloodlust...

Among the dead demons, the black whale was also female, extremely beautiful, but her death was incredibly tragic. She was pierced through the celestial platform by a fierce spear, her body torn to pieces, while the killer had a cold face, only caring about the surging blood energy within her towering body.

From this perspective, the smaller demon body seems to have the advantage.

Compared to a whale, even a hundred of us couldn't match its blood and energy.

Thinking of this, the fox spirit couldn't help but sigh. What a night this is! Even the Great Sage is so uncertain about his future.

Those powerful demons were once astonishing figures. If they hadn't been suppressed by Shakyamuni, several of them would likely have reached the Quasi-Emperor realm. But now they have died one after another, slaughtered in batches.

The fate of the remaining five cages is predictable.

Relics of a bygone era, death is chasing them...

"boom!"

On the other side, Yan Ming stepped into the starry sky, opened his mouth and inhaled, causing a huge wave in Taibai Star. It was pure golden energy, the purest energy, which was immediately attracted to him and entered his mouth and nose.

The metal element is surging and incredibly powerful!

Over the course of two years, the Heavenly Court sent down the Eternal, the Heavenly Passage, and the Gouchen Starfield, bringing with them many metallic divine objects containing a vast amount of essence.

Daji discovered that this person from later generations was bathed in golden light, with the lights inside the altar shimmering and his limbs and bones glowing, all of which were generating astonishing divinity, the effect of which was extremely terrifying.

They were able to fight against the older generation of the Nine Heavens using only a single secret realm!
"A prodigious talent, much like someone from mythology..." The fox woman was pulled back to that mythical era of heroes rising up. Among the human race, there was a sage who attained enlightenment through fire, cultivated diligently in the Dao Palace Realm for 1,800 years, and on the day he emerged from the mountain, he slew an ancient demon in the Great Sage Realm and led his tribe to rise.

That person was named Sui, and he lived in Huoyun Cave. Later generations called him Suirenshi, one of the great sages of the human race!

Unexpectedly, six thousand years later, someone else achieved the status of a Great Sage through the Sendai Secret Realm, becoming the first Great Sage of the Dharma-ending Age.

"If it were him, he could definitely kill that person..."

Daji's gaze shifted, her hair flowing freely, and her embroidered robes changed daily. This time, the robes featured peonies, carrying a faint fragrance.

She thought of the main lineage of the Ji clan, the direct descendant of the Yellow Emperor, a terrifying quasi-emperor.

Compared to the Zhou clan, that lineage was much stronger. For a long time, they dominated the rise and fall of the divine continent and reigned supreme. When their vital energy showed signs of depletion, they were among the first to migrate to other star regions.

Outside the solar system, Yan Ming finished his tribulation and took another Thunder Tribulation Pill to stabilize his current Saint King Ninth Heaven realm. At this moment, he was like a vessel of the Great Dao, bearing various soul flames. He returned to his original simplicity and became more and more natural.

To him, the so-called eighteen levels of hell were nothing more than eighteen batches of great medicine!

"I accept this kindness from Shakyamuni Buddha!"

Yan Ming took a step forward, his face exuding a unique demonic aura, like a dark king. As time passed, the sacrificial substances on his body began to manifest, affecting even his true form, and his bloodline evolved towards the most ancient source.

Having reached this point, the next step requires breaking through to the Great Sage level. If relying on devouring demons, the remaining few might not be enough to break through the barrier.

Yan Ming did not linger. He placed a black gold ring on the nine-tailed fox's head and wrote a decree, ordering Yaochi Holy Land, Yin Tiande, and Nan Yao to cooperate with the demon in searching for Nuwa's inheritance.

Things are different now!

In the past, he fought many battles in pursuit of a semi-imperial artifact, and later he even went so far as to confront ancient clans and fight against ancient forces.

Now, even when it comes to ancient imperial weapons, he only pays slight attention and orders his men to search for them.

The Chaotic Ancient Emperor Talisman (Axe) of the Big Dipper is an example of this.

With Yao Guang making his move, and the Heavenly Court following behind, after capturing the Supreme Emperor Weapon, there was no need to use any more heavy artifacts to seal it; he directly threw it into the Tribulation Transcending Array Diagram in the Ten Thousand Dragons Peak.

Mythical Celestial Venerable's killing formation is powerful enough to suppress Imperial Weapons!
The follow-up work was also handled by others. The white crane from Beiyuan flew into the Immortal Ruins 'voluntarily' to indicate that it wanted to select a new disciple for the Chaotic Ancient Emperor.

To this, Yan Ming can only say one thing:
Xi Xi is a model of excellence!
The old crane could not bear the consequences of defying the Heavenly Court. Not only would it die, but all its bloodline and old friends would perish, and even the Chaotic Ancient Imperial Palace would be burned to ashes!

You've even shattered the imperial tombs!
The news of Yan Ming's cremation for the Western Queen Mother and the two Great Accomplished Holy Bodies has already spread.

"Buzz!"

Beyond the solar system, a golden crow roared as an ancient war chariot, entwined with a nine-clawed golden dragon, treaded on divine flames, its quasi-emperor-level ripples rapidly expanding as it surged into the boundless universe. Yan Ming, clad in a dark divine robe, looked at the battle reports Jiang Yifei had sent over the past few days and nodded in approval.

The Heavenly Army achieved successive victories in the Tongtian and Gouchen star regions, occupying vast territories.

A great battle broke out in Gouchen, where a Great Sage of the Heavenly Phoenix Clan appeared, intending to wipe out the invaders in one fell swoop.

This being, who can suppress a Saint King with such a high level of cultivation, is no ordinary enemy; we must strike hard!
Finally, the Heavenly Phoenix was suppressed by the two Imperial Artifacts and enjoyed the same treatment as the Undying Daoist and the Holy Body of the Sacred Cliff!

The primordial spirit was divided into six parts, and the physical body flew into the stone coffin at the top of the sacred cliff.

"The Divine Skin Scroll, it really is this set." Yan Ming's eyes flashed as he saw the latest situation in the Eternal Starfield.

An internal strife broke out in the Sudatta clan, with some of the younger members plotting a rebellion, intending to betray Eternity and actively align themselves with the Heavenly Court. However, due to someone's prior betrayal, the plot was exposed, and the clan's higher-ups massacred them.

Only two people escaped covered in blood, and they stole the high-level evolution fluid that the Sudo tribe considered its most valuable asset!
Also presented as a pledge of allegiance was an ancient scroll with a divine leather covering, engraved with an ancient star map passed down from the ancestors of the Sudo people, which recorded the secrets of ancient gods.

That mysterious star field was visited by the ancestors of the Sumeru Clan 80,000 years ago, where they saw a legendary ancient tree of life.

They naturally wanted to take it, but the natives there were far too powerful, almost wiping out the entire Sudo tribe's strongmen, with only one person escaping back.

In the years that followed, they returned to that star system several times, but each time they returned empty-handed and suffered heavy losses.

According to past practice, the Heavenly Court has never accepted surrender.

However, given the secrets surrounding the elixir of immortality, the Dark Queen at the front lines had to take it seriously and led her army to conquer the Sudatta tribe overnight.

The Eternal Kingdom fought back desperately, and a bloody battle broke out on the outer battlefield, resulting in the deaths of eight ancient saints. However, they were still no match for the Heavenly Court, and the Sudo clan was wiped out. The Fire Crow army that rushed into the ancestral land obtained more secret information and even saw a lush and verdant foliage.

With witnesses and physical evidence present, there's no choice but to believe it.

This incident caused a huge uproar, even moving many high-ranking officials in the Heavenly Court, who believed the story was highly credible.

The Sutuo Clan was originally one of the strongest clans in the Eternal Era, but it has gradually declined in the last tens of thousands of years. Now, only one ancestral saint remains, who has perished on the battlefield outside the domain.

In this situation, it seems perfectly reasonable that an internal rebellion would occur, with some younger members being cowardly and wanting to save their own lives...

"As expected of Dao Yi, he's ruthless enough to have eight saints die in order to lure people into a trap." Yan Ming smiled, unconcerned.

The mantis stalks the cicada, but the oriole follows behind!

But what if there's a golden crow behind the oriole?

The opponent's move conveniently provided the coordinates of the Divine Realm, the star field that the Celestial Venerable had fallen into, and the Five Elements Continent within it, which possessed high-quality Five Elements Qi, just enough for him to rebuild his Dao Palace Secret Realm once again.

"Buzz!"

The dragon chariot sped along, like a primordial celestial light piercing through the dark universe, splashing up a vast expanse of starlight and fire, rushing towards the other side of the gods.

In the Eternal Starfield, within the territory occupied by the Heavenly Court, a surge of enthusiasm has arisen among the armies. Even the enemies on the Eternal Main Star are no longer so noteworthy. Many important figures have set out to explore that ancient starfield.

Even the sun in the outer reaches of the universe has moved!
At this moment, the Eternal Kingdom finally saw the true giants of the ascetics.

Billions of strands of dark red immortal light shot out, and the Nine Phoenix King appeared like a black sun. The moment he appeared, the laws were endless, and chains of divine order intertwined and wrapped around his body, devouring all the light in the place!
The Hengyu Divine Furnace drew out clusters of golden divine fire, which enhanced his body, making the Dao fire on the Blood Phoenix Mountain Lord burn even more intensely, and his whole body exuded a terrifying aura of majesty.

"A... Great Sage!"

"And he is a Great Sage who possesses a divine artifact!"

The trapped and dying Eternal Saints trembled uncontrollably, utterly powerless to resist.

The group led by Luanfeng appeared tense, but inwardly they breathed a sigh of relief. The plan had succeeded, but looking at the eight people who had left Yongheng, they couldn't help but feel sad.

"These damned invaders, once you fall into their trap, you'll all die!" King Miluo cursed, his heart practically spitting fire.

"pit!"

The dazzling divine chains merged with the Nine Phoenix King's body, making him look incredibly radiant. He took a step forward, glanced coldly at Eternal Star, and didn't even look at the people trapped outside the realm.

The next moment, the giant tore through the void and disappeared from the spot.

After the Nine Phoenix Kings made their move, the woman, whom the eternal beings regarded as a devil, also made her move.

After receiving the news, she thought about it carefully for a long time and decided to set off. In any case, she was not afraid of any conspiracy.

She is not afraid of even a great battle against the Heavenly Court. What she needs now is to fight, to hone herself, to reach a higher level, and to break through the shackles of the Great Sage barrier.

"I have a premonition that my opportunity lies ahead!" the woman murmured to herself. Her beautiful eyes occasionally opened and closed, their divine light terrifying and boundless. Her graceful body, encased in the Great Sage Mecha, stretched out, her two long legs stepping into the domain gate. She rushed into a mothership and disappeared into the dark starry sky.

For a being at the Heavenly King level, achieving the Great Sage status requires a glimmer of inspiration, which could be an epiphany or a baptism of life and death.

The Milky Way shone brightly, the universe was boundless, and the army of 50,000 followed closely behind, rushing into the dark star gate outside the domain.

Soon, Yan Ming arrived as well.

However, the Eternal Starfield no longer held much appeal for him; he mainly wanted to catch a glimpse of some old friends and younger generations.

They caught up with the woman very quickly.

"It seems your opportunity for the seventh transformation has arrived." A faint and ethereal voice rang out, moving the dark woman.

She removed her armor, revealing her pale purple hair, amethyst eyes, and a slender figure. Ancient royal blood flowed continuously within her, and her original eerie aura changed, with an aura of light emanating from her.

Princess Divine Silkworm sat upright in the driver's seat, looked at the figure beside her, and said, "The Ancient Tree of Life... could it be fake?"

No one would have guessed that she would be the commander of the army that would conquer eternity!
If the Divine Silkworm Ridge of the Big Dipper were to find out, an earthquake would definitely occur, and even the Great Sage would be mobilized to guide his people back.

Yan Ming stood with his hands behind his back, his eyes flashing like lightning. Standing in the mothership, he gazed at the endless darkness around him and said, "The tree is real, the location is fake, but if you want the enemy, then that's where you are!"

"That's enough!"

Princess Shencan nodded, saying nothing more.

The destination was a tranquil star field, undisturbed for countless millennia, but its peace was recently shattered...
